The Dating Game: Google® Date Search

If you, like me, follow various technologies and want to restrict search results to the most recent, like, say, the last month, both Google® Scholar and plain old Google® offer ways to do so.

Here are some hints on how to do so, using the simple keyword desulfurization as an example.

The tips below are based on my experience on a laptop using IE6 and Firefox. If you use a different browser or device, it may look different on your screen, but the principle remains the same.

Google® Scholar (https://scholar.google.com)
Click triple bar (upper left corner)
Click Advanced Search
On the Form:
with all words: desulfurization
Return articles dated between 2018-2018
Click the search icon (looks like a magnifying glass) in upper right of the form)

Obviously, the form allows you to customize your search using other parameters.  The same holds true for plain old Google®, but the plain old Google form looks different.

First step: Google® desulfurization
Click Settings
Click Advanced Search
Click drop down for last update
Select past 24 hours, past week, past month, or past year
Click Advanced Search
